I Don’t Care What Your Boyfriend Ate for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner
When I started college, I just got out of an intricate relationship about three months earlier. The guy I was dating didn’t believe that I was an importance in his busy and stressful life. In other words, I got dumped because he wanted to spend the summer hanging out with his friends and playing video games. At that time, I didn’t care if the entire male population was eaten by male-hating aliens that came from planet WOMEN RULE.I got over the break up in about two weeks which opened my eyes to how insignificant it really was.
At my school, I have only met about two guys only because I attend a fashion school so I am always surrounded by girls. At first, it was really nice to go to school, make new girlfriends and learn and talk about what I love: fashion. But I guess girls being girls, the subject of the boyfriend always came up. Unfortunately. I didn’t mind it in the beginning but then I realized, why do I need to know that the song playing in the lobby also played last night when your boyfriend took you home? Or that the sandwich I was eating had the same exact amount of lettuce in the sandwich your boyfriend ate last week? Or that tomorrow was your first monthiversary and you’re surprised that you and your boyfriend were already head over heels in goo goo ga ga love?
Someone has the nerve to date you, I get it. You don’t have to keep repeating it. Especially to a single girl who has no intention of even thinking about boyfriends.
Even my friends from back home had a boyfriend to talk about. Don’t get me wrong, I am completely fine when a friend comes to me for relationship advice or to share an embarrassing story about how they first the boyfriend’s parents but the random comments about every little thing that goes on just has to stop! I don’t want to walk to class only hearing things like, “I think my boyfriend is your height,” “that’s my boyfriend’s favorite color,” “my boyfriend breathes this air too, you know.” And I don’t need another reminder that I DON’T HAVE A BOYFRIEND.
I am single. And I am as happy as any single college girl can ever be. Boyfriend stories can be cute and entertaining to hear every once in a while, but the obsessed girls who think that their relationship is the only thing making the world go round need to lower down the volume.
Girls/ guys, has this ever happened to you? If so, PLEASE entertain me with the most random and absurd comment you’ve heard a girl say about her significant other.
And are there any relationship obsessed girls out there? Don’t be afraid to admit it!

Confused much? First you say you have no intention of having another boyfriend, and the say you don't need reminding that you don't have one and that you are happy being single.
Look at what you wrote, while you may not want a boyfriend right now, I personally don't think you are happy being single and that is why girls who talk about their own boyfriends alot bug you so much, and don't bother to say it doesn't because it does, one you wrote this blog and two you state "I don't need reminding that I don't have a boyfriend" in big bold capital letters.
And yes it is irritating as hell when girls can't shut up about their boyfriends and find a way to mention them whenever and however they can.
I understand what you mean! Some girls let their boyfriends consume their thoughts until there's hardly anything left of themselves. Not all girls are like this, of course, but they are out there.
I'm a person who does not care about relationships. Now, just like you said, I'm fine with being approached for advice (which is a odd, but OK); however, anything more than that and I will be hard pressed not to slap someone in the face.
What I especially hate is when certain people on my Facebook friend's list (who shall remain anonymous) continuously update their status with: "I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND! *MWAH* HAPPY 3 WEEKS, BABY! <3<3<3 XOXOXOXO IT'S US AGAINST THE WORLD! MY BOYFRIEND IS THE BEST! I DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD LIVE WITHOUT MY BOYFRIEND! I MISS MY BOYFRIEND ALREADY!" etc. etc.
The world does not care about your relationship. Just be happy that you're in each other's company and stop making me question your sanity.
Yes it has. And trust, the older you get, the worse it gets. Most of my friends have a significant other. All they wanna talk about is their significant other. It gets old after awhile, especially when they make the comments, "Oh you'll find someone someday, blah blah blah." I once had a friend who was obsessed with her relationship to the point where she cut me out of her life just to spend all of her time with her bf. Of course, when the relationship ended, she suddenly wanted to be "best friends" with me. That didn't fly so well. I made her aware of her behavior, and instead of owning up to her behavior, she acted stupid and make excuses for it. I no longer talk to her.
For the most part, I'm happy with my life b/c I plan on moving out of state soon for more opportunities in my career field. If I were to have significant other right now, I wouldn't be able to do that as easily.
if you have no intention of thinking about boyfriends... why are you so angry? i get that it can become annoying, but just as the universe does not cater to their relationship, their relationship doesn't cater to your bitterness. i just try to be happy for them. people could use more reasons to be happy.
I can't stand girls who talk about their boyfriends all the time!! Seriously, have they nothing more interesting to say?!
I seem only to mention mine when asked. Or when propelled to do so, like now!! haha, Great blog. :)
It's also single girls who are crushing who act like this. My best friend does this ALL THE TIME. I am so tired of hearing about how he accidentally brushed against her arm today or about the video games he plays.
i think you just sound really bitter. just because you're single doesn't mean the rest of the world can't be happy in their relationship and talk about it as much as they want.
you seem really annoyed and angry at boys and people who have boyfriends in general.
I think you need to re-read what you've written. :)
@lobsterrxX@xanga, @angelabananas@xanga - I'm assuming that you guys have a significant other? She is just discussing about women whose lives completely revolve around their bf and nothing else. I've had friends in the past that were like this. Trust me, it gets aggravating. I don't think she's bitter. She's just expressing her feelings about what it's like to single in college. I was in and out of relationships when I was in college, so I completely understand.
@lobsterrxX@xanga - I also agree you do seem a tad bit annoyed with ppl with bfs.
But at the sametime I can understand it gets annoying, to constantly hear about stupid little things like that.
Forget those other rude comments. I know what you mean. :) I don't have absurd stories but it does get lame and annoying when people go on and on about their SO. I even think so and I have one! Lol.
I don't want a boyfriend. I'm sure I got that point acrossed. And I am happy being single. I wasn't trying to come across as bitter, but just annoyed. I'm not annoyed at the fact that people tel me boyfriend stories or that they need advice about something. It's not like I'm completely ungrateful of anyone who HAS a boyfriend. What I am annoyed at is the constant boyfriend talk about the most random things. If it's every once in a while, cool but it's what I experienced. And what I experience is NOT every once in a while. There are people I know who do nothing but talk about their boyfriends and I am not the only one who thinks that. I'm happy for those who have boyfriends and I'm not angry about not having one. That "bitterness" in the blog was supposed to come off as humor. And I'm sticking by my opinion that the crazy obsession of boyfriends should really be toned down!
@shillykins - I understand completely how you feel. Our society is completely obsessed with relationships. It's like if you don't have one, then there's something wrong with you. And people will throw that in your face too, lol
@lostinthought86@xanga - Lol, yes blame it on society. Haha.
And good luck moving out of state and such! Sounds scary!
@gymbum20@xanga - I agree
@shillykins - Thanks. I've been wanting to move out of state for so long. And I have no choice since there aren't opportunities in my career field where I live (Louisiana).
hahahah "my boyfriend breathes this air too" <3
I know what you mean, I get worried that I'm that girl to my friends sometimes. So I really try hard not to mention every little thing that pops in my head because something reminded me of my boyfriend. Usually it's the bigger more important things that I'll mention. It's hard to not talk about someone when you like/love them a lot. I even get like that when things remind me of my best friend or something I did in the past with other friends. It's just reminding yourself of good memories.
@salvatruca_stalking_havok13@xanga - Lol. I think someone posted an entry a few months back on datingish that talked about people that had nothing but comments about their significant other on their facebook updates.
i would have to agree. all my taken friends are that way and it becomes very irritating.
@Inaheartbeatx@xanga - It's nice to remind yourself of good memories :) But sometimes I realize I know so much of the little details of someone's boyfriend that I really don't care about, haha. Especially not being around here, it's weird how I don't even KNOW who their boyfriend is, and I'm hearing so much about them.
@shillykins - yeah, i definitely can understand what you mean! I get like that when my friends constantly talk about their boyfriends. It's like, thats nice. . but I really don't care. That's why i try to keep my boyfriend talk to the minimal.
@salvatruca_stalking_havok13@xanga - that's only annoying when it's Junior High/High school kids.lol they seem to be so sad after NOT seeing their boyfriend for X minutes, seconds, hours, or DAYS god forbid! I'm glad you feel the same.
Anyway, I too, would get annoyed by anyone who only talks about their boyfriend all the time even if I have one as well. The only time I pull the "talk about boyfriend the entire time" card is when I know a guy likes me and I want him to get off my back. I try to make them as annoyed as possible so they leave me alone.
I am not that obsessed to be honest. I love talking to him and everyone else talks to him so it's not really a big deal in my opinion. I think talking about your boyfriend to your friends is a little over rated if they already know him. If they don't know him, then it's ok.
